- does anyone know this area?

I'm looking for a nice hotel for Friday - Sunday. We want a place with a restaurant & pool and we'll need two rooms.

Any recommendations?

My Brother lived in Vergennes VT.

I believe White River is where they build really great canoes.

Been there a few times,if I'm thinking of the same place.

^ ... you are correct ... we're looking to go whitewater rafting in innertubes and play tourist for the weekend ...

... I'm taking my son up there (he grew up near there) and some of his friends are going to join us - so I'll be playing babysitter for 6 teenagers and even though I've never met their parents ... they're more than happy to send their kids off for the weekend ... LOL

- need two nice-sized rooms though - want to make it a nice weekend...

... sad part is although we'll be right next to where his mother lives ... he does NOT want to see her and he still won't talk to her ... but it's nice to see that his friends parents aren't going to put their kids into a middle of an epic court battle ...

Used to have tons of family in Swanton...I can vouch for the trout fishing.

Some of the biggest I ever caught.

We used to go camping in that area every year.

I think it was called White River Junction campground.

It was right on a river and had a place to jump off the rock/cliff.

About 25 feet, maybe 30. But it felt A LOT higher when it was your turn!

Choose your river carefully.

Lots of rivers are low this time of year and tubing could be a hassle.

I've only camped and/or drove through White River Junction, so I can't recommend a place to stay.

Try the Quechee Gorge area. I know there are lots of hotels and I think it's pretty close. It's also a great little hike down the gorge.

Have fun.

^ ... thanks for all of the inputs guys ... and yes, I'll take my flyrod as well. I've fished about 1.5hrs North of that area some years back and I've even caught some Salmon up there as well - but I had to release them as there was a fishing ban on them - not sure if that's still the case or not though.

If there are any BOTL up in the area, they're more than welcome to give me a holler and we can throw together a mini-herf this Saturday at the local bowling alley... there's not many options up there to entertainment, but I'll appreciate any opportunity to get away from a half-dozen teenagers...
